What do you think about Magnepan speakers?

The short answer is YES, the MMG is a great speaker for the money. Especially if your going to have a powerful amp, the MMG's will give you that "Maggie Magic" in spades. What they won't do is play below 50Hz or so. Neither will most modest monitors in the same price range.

Cats I got too, so I've been through. I've had a long talk with them, and the conclusion was that as long as they get their own scratching post in a different room I will not have them turned into guitar strings and furry mittens.

If your going from the B&W 684's to maggies I would say that you have to go 1.6qr though. The scale of the 1.6 will match that of what your used to better. The 1.6 holds it's value on the used market so if you pick up one used, you can sell it for the same price if it's not your cup-o-tea. That's what I would do in your case.

The 3.6 is a horse of a different color. The 3.6r's true ribbon tweeter is in my opinion one of the best drivers ever designed, and it's transparency is a two edged sword. You get to hear for better or worse what your electronics, and more importantly what your recordings have on them. The 1.6qr in my view is a "sweeter" speaker, and a lot more forgiving of less than stellar recordings. It's what I would recommend in your system.

Thanks. So what do you think of this deal??
